I was going to use the post hole digger on my tractor for pen repair and I saw the radiator needed fluid. I added about 1 gallon of water/antifreeze solution. When I started the tractor, I noticed a small amount of spray but nothing major. I dug my two holes but on the second one the leak had gotten much worse. I quickly returned to the barn. I placed a bucket under the tractor to collect the antifreeze.
I had thought that one of the radiator hoses had a hole but when I examined it today, it appears to be leaking from the radiator fan shaft. I added more water to the radiator and have a slow drip from that shaft. I haven't started the tractor and don't know if I will be able to see anything since the antifreeze is hitting the fan and spraying everywhere.
Any suggestions of what is wrong?
